The Revolution Called
Evolution

Ex Nihilo, Volume 2, Issue
2, April 1979

This
article by Dr. I. Scott discusses how scientific revolutions, proposed in the book The
Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn, applies to the theory of
evolution. Overall, it is a well-written, accurate article, and for
the most part there are no problems with it.

However, the
author claims that the end result of the advent of Darwin's paradigm is that
many people rejected the Biblical account of creation. While I agree
that some did, as a whole, this mass exodus from the church did not occur.
Many of the early scientists of the 1800's were converted to evolution, but
they maintained their Christianity. As evidence, today we have
millions of Theistic Evolutionists.

The
problem with evolution is not evolution itself, but man's reaction to
evolution...specifically, the church's reaction. If it is seen as an

either-or choice, which is the
way young earth creation science views it, then when faced with choosing
between science and the Bible, many choose science, and abandon the Bible.
If instead, they had been taught that you can accept evolution and the
Bible, the conflict disappears.

True,
the results of evolution has meant that many more today are atheists, but a
large part of the blame for this lies with the church, and not with the
theory of evolution.

If you are not a Christian, and you have been holding out on making a decision
for Christ because the Church always preached a message that was contrary to
what you saw in the scientific world, then rest assured that the Bible is the
inerrant Word of God, and you can believe in Christ and receive salvation, while
still believing in an old earth. Click here for more.
